My art is based on forms in nature. The use of charcoal reinforces the image of a plant-form with the presence of its physical substance. The techniques of directional rubbing and manipulation of pigment, re-iterated lines, and selective erasure translates my physical movements into that of the forms themselves; forms that are pushing up from earth, moving in wind, twisting and breaking. The viewer is invited to see familiar forms differently, and interact with the simple details and color harmonies of Creation.
